Le Roy Ladurie. 2004.Grape ripening as a past climate indicator.Nature, Vol. 432, 18 November 2004.ABSTRACT:French records of grape-harvest dates in Burgundy were used to reconstructspring-summer temperatures from 1370 to 2003 using a process-based phenologymodel developed for the Pinot Noir grape. Our results reveal that temperaturesas high as those reached in the 1990s have occurred several times in Burgundysince 1370. However, the summer of 2003 appears to have been extraordinary,with temperatures that were probably higher than in any other year since 1370.ADDITIONAL REFERENCE: Le Roy Ladurie, E. Histoire du Climat depuis lAn Mil.Champs Flammarion, Paris, 1983.PERIOD OF RECORD: 1370 - 2003 ADDESCRIPTION:Pinot Noir grape harvest dates for Burgundy, France,and April-August Temperature Reconstruction.The grape harvest date series is a corrected and updated harvest date seriesfrom Le Roy Ladurie (1983) covering 1370 to 1977 and completed until 2003for the Burgundy region.Grape harvest dates were collected from up to 18 cities or villages inBurgundy (the actual number depends on the year) since 1370. To avoidpossible biases due to the variability of data availability each year,Dijon - the longest series overall and the only one available for someperiods - was chosen as the reference series. However, the 17 other series

were used to take into account the regional variability. All serieswere standardized such that they present the same average date as Dijonover their common recorded period. For each year t the harvest date Htwas computed as the median date among all available standardized datesincluding Dijon.The temperature anomalies are with respect to the April to August meantemperature of Dijon between 1960 and 1989.DATA:1.
